| Tantra is an experiential path, which changes your way of being --with yourself, with your partner, with your life together and in the wider world. To really deepen the quality of your relationship and experience the pleasures and transforming power of tantric sexuality, you need more than a few weekends. The Sacred Couple is life-changing. It consists of 5 blocks of 5 days spread over a year, and takes place at our centre near Penzance. In the Training you will explore the essential exercises and rituals for maintaining an ongoing tantric relationship with your partner. |

Block 1 April 23-27, ‘08 |
|
BLOCK I: |
|
Step One: discovering the ecstatic body. |
|
Becoming conscious of unconscious patterns which limit our energy and aliveness; Learning to relax into the pleasurable flow of our energy; Becoming lighter and more vibrant, more free and more in touch with our true nature as energy beings. |
| Step Two: sexual grounding: birthing the Tantric child. |
|
Exploring the messages we received as children about the nature of sexuality and the relationship between man and woman; Replacing negative imprints with positive and heartfelt ones; Creating a positive model of a loving family; Birthing the magical child, with an infinite capacity for pleasure. |
|
BLOCK II: Steps Three and Four: Opening to Pleasure |
|
Rediscovering our bodies as the natural source of love and pleasure; Meeting the demons who sabotage our pleasure, and exorcising the short-term pleasure of addiction to destructive patterns; Learning to communicate creatively and clearly with our partners and to enjoy the excitement of our differences without entrapment in power games; Learning to heal our shame; Tantric self-love ritual. |
|
BLOCK III: Steps Five and Six: Sexual Healing |
|
Dissolving away painful, negative or frustrating past sexual experience; Learning a healing genital massage which clears away both insensitivity and hyper-sensitivity; Experiencing our partner as our healer; Connecting our genitals with our hearts and with our whole being. |
|
BLOCK IV: Steps Seven and Eight: Being in Pleasure |
|
Moving away from the tension-release model for sexual satisfaction, and embracing the Tantric principle of relaxing into extended arousal and excitement; Experiencing our partner as initiator and guide into the state of enhanced erotic pleasure; Extending and deepening erotic pleasure, and experiencing its transforming power. |
| BLOCK V: Steps Nine and Ten: Awakening the Energy Body & Riding the Wave of Bliss |
|
Learning the traditional Tantric practice of channeling sexual energy into the higher chakras; Experiencing the ultimate union of merging our energy-bodies in the practice. |

Early Arrival and StayOvers The Field of Dreams offers reduced room rates for participants who wish to arrive on Tuesday evening or leave on Monday morning. These reductions apply to room rates only.

Follow-Up We usually offer a follow-up group around 6 months after the Training, which may include graduates from other Trainings. You may also join Peer Group, a non-teaching organization for graduates which organizes “Gatherings” at which we continue to practice the structures and rituals we have been taught in our Trainings. |
